I think McC is a very solid backup, maybe the best we've had since Kitna. That said, people talk about McC like he's some treasure we absolutely have to hang on to. I don't get that mentality.
1. Dalton's injury was very flukey and he never missed a game in 4 previous seasons. Odds are he stays healthy this year. [/b]
2. We get this year and next year. Then McC is surely gone in search of a better opportunity to start. Why not get something?
3. Let's say we traded McC now. Guys like Sanchez and Mike Vick will be available. Does anyone think guys like that wouldn't be able to do a servicable job in this offense with these weapons? Honestly that's all McCarron was last year. Serviceable. Nothing spectacular. Any half decent QB could beat the teams McCarron did.
Heck, I'd prefer the Sanchize over McCarron. More experienced and a proven winner in the playoffs.
I say hang on to him cause the value people think we can get in a trade is no where close to his actual value lol...
Hes been in the system a few years now and would be absolutely the best possible backup for this season with only a week to go..
In a good season backup qb doesn't matter squat cause he doesn't play. But Dalton while he only missed a few games for the first time last season. Has had to leave a few games early in his time here.
Plus I think its funny as hell many of the people wanting McCarron to start for us are now trying to trade him away.
